After a period of effective fat-reducing exercise, in most cases, the muscles do become stronger and tighter, but the girth of the legs will become smaller. Sports with relatively gentle strength also include: riding a bicycle, skipping rope easily, swimming and so on. These exercises can thin legs without getting thicker.
General aerobic exercise
Aerobic exercise means that we exercise with sufficient oxygen, because the main energy of physical exercise comes from the oxidation of sugar and fat in the body. Generally, aerobic exercise is low-intensity and long-term exercise.
Common aerobic exercise includes: walking, jogging, mountain climbing, swimming, cycling, aerobic exercise, yoga and so on. Usually aerobic exercise will consume body fat, which is conducive to exercise to lose weight.
Ways to lose weight by walking without increasing muscles;
Step 1: Walking posture
Walking posture is very important. Incorrect walking posture exerts force in the wrong place and way, which will easily make the calf grow into a calf and then become a radish. The correct walking posture should be that the toes land first and the walking path is a straight line. When walking, his knees will touch and rub slightly.
Second, stretch the calf and abdomen.
At the end of the day, due to gravity, the feet bear most of the weight of the whole body. In addition, when walking or standing, the calf is easy to become strong and slowly become a muscle. Even when sitting, the leg is still the lowest part of the human body, so stretch the calf.
It is also a very simple action. You can sit in a chair with your legs drooping naturally, or you can lie flat on the bed. First relax 15 seconds, and then tilt your feet as much as possible. At this time, you will feel the pain in your calf, then stay at the top 10 second, finally relax 15 second, and do it again. You can do it when you feel hard or a little swollen, and the number of times a day is not limited.
This is a very convenient and simple action, which can be done in the office or school, or before going home for a massage. It can be used as a warm-up in the later stage of massage, so that the legs and abdomen can be stretched to warm up first, and the massage is not so laborious.
Third, massage the calf.
Even many MM doubt the efficacy of massage. However, according to statistics, most successful stovepipe MM are combined with massage. However, the effect of massage is not fast, and it usually takes several months to be effective. Many people give up halfway, so we can't blame the massage of stovepipe for its ineffectiveness. Therefore, the legs are relatively difficult to lose weight.
The muscles of the calf are in a state of tension when walking. Standing or walking often will make the muscles of my calf more developed, so someone asked me why I exercise so much and my calf is still so thick. It is best to soak your legs in warm water before massage. First, it can relieve the tension in your calf. Second, promote the blood circulation of the calf. Then you can do a proper massage after soaking. If you have an economic foundation, you can use some fat-reducing massage cream.
The main function of massage is to prevent the calf from developing into muscles, so you should use great force when massaging, not the comfortable kind, but the kind that will hurt and sour. Squeeze and massage hard against the calf to soften the muscles, then massage from the ankle up through the calf to the knee from bottom to top. When massaging, try to relax the calf as much as possible. As shown in the above picture, the knee bends upward to let the calf droop naturally, and then massage according to the above method.
